Narco-trafficking in Europe’s waters: protecting our borders and supporting our law enforcement officers (debate)

Mr. President, drug trafficking is not only a terrible enemy for the health of individuals and societies, today drug trafficking is also a hybrid weapon of war and a colossal political power. Organized crime has entered politics. Decades ago, drug cartels allied with the Ibero-American left. Today, that narcosocialism of the São Paulo Forum is already in Europe and entered Spain. The Government of…

Political repression and humanitarian situation in Cuba (debate)

Madam President, Mrs Kallas, it is really desperate: 67 years of dictatorship, a murderous communist regime, which has imprisoned its children, which has made the world's largest prison for more than six decades. And here we are talking about reforms, not intervening. Do you know what's going on? This dictatorship is now closer than ever to collapse, because of its brutal and abysmal general failu…

Question Time with the Vice-President of the Commission / High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy - EU’s strategy to address the current crises in the Middle East

The problem is not that the European Union is doing something - which, of course, it is doing things - but that there are some members of the European Union who are acting against the pacification actions by the West, Europe and the United States; and that they are actually objectively helping Hamas, helping Hezbollah, helping the Houthis and finally helping Tehran. I am referring specifically to …

Question Time with the Vice-President of the Commission / High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy - EU’s strategy to address the current crises in the Middle East

Madam President, Mrs Kallas, in February the European Council formally designated the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) as a terrorist organisation, at last. However, since 2016 the European Union has spent more than 124 million euros on allegedly humanitarian operations over territory directly controlled by this same Iranian regime, which has proven its crimes by murdering tens of thousand…

Mr President, Commissioner, go ahead and say that VOX does not participate in this House's anti-American phobia. Europe needs a stable and loyal trade alliance with the United States.

The European Commission will mourn and condemn Trump for violating international law. That has happened in Venezuela, a monstrous dictatorship that the European Union has suppor…

Mr President, Madam Vice-President Kallas, in its first five years, the Islamic dictatorship of Khomeini murdered some ten thousand opponents.

At birth, as at death, this failed and murderous regime only knows how to kill …
